Round and round, round and round

Up and down, up and down
The people on the bus go up and down
All through the town

The driver on the bus says "Move on back"
All through the town

Whaa whaa whaa, whaa whaa whaa
The babies on the bus go whaa whaa whaa
All through the town

The mommies on the bus go shhh shhh shhh
Shhh shhh shhh, shhh shhh shhh
The mommies on the bus go shhh shhh shhh
All through the town

The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep
Beep beep beep, beep beep beep
The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep
All through the town

All through the town
All through the town
All through the town
